A new non-invasive brain stimulation technique known as accelerated continuous theta burst stimulation (a-cTBS) improves social communication at one month follow-up and has a favorable safety profile in children with autism, finds a trial from China published by The BMJ. The researchers say the findings suggest that a-cTBS may be “a viable and scalable therapeutic option…
